| Summary: | The note outlines the impacts of the
Urban Household Energy Project in Mozambique, identifying
cost-recovery tariffs, employment generation, and improved
services, including the significant achievement of power
sector reforms, which allowed the creation of independent
grids. Following the passage of the Electricity Law in 1997,
which de-monopolized the national power utility, and allowed
private sector participation in the industry, the above
mentioned project funded a pilot isolated grid
electrification project in two coastal towns, which extended
low-cost services to these isolated areas, after an enabling
framework had been created for private participation. |
